Abstract

Otiorhynchus (Podonebistus) korotyaevi sp. n., (Proremus) karsavurani sp. n., and O. (Proremus) temeli sp. n. from northeastern Turkey are described. O. kirschi is transferred from the genus Simo (= Homorhythmus) to the genus Otiorhynchus (subgenus Proremus); O. madari, from the genus Cirrorhynchus to the genus Otiorhynchus (subgenus Motilacanus); and O. kataevi, from the subgenus Nilepolemis to the subgenus Otismotilus. New data on the morphology and distribution of O. cataphractus, O. latinasus, O. terrifer, O. pipitzi, O. angustifrons, O. jarpachlinus, and O. sculptirostris are given. Lectotypes of O. lederi, O. erivanensis, O. diotus, O. terrifer, O. kirschi, and O. madari are designated.
